An Evening With (AEW) is a program that champions the work and lives of America’s greatest scientists and technologists and connecting these extraordinary individuals to the next generation. The program was launched in 2017 by the National Science & Technology Medals Foundation in partnership with the USPTO.

Each event in the AEW series features a National Medal of Technology and Innovation (NMTI) or National Medal of Science (NMS) laureate in conversation with a moderator hosted at venues across the country. The events are free and open-to-the-public with the goal of creating a personal connection between the laureate and the attendees. The events are also live-streamed for people who cannot attend in-person.
